THIS WEEK...
Tuesday
• Trump State of the Union: policy plus tariff clarity
Thursday
• Initial Jobless Claims, Will AI job take over starts to make a dent?
Friday
• January PPI
Most thought Trump's tariff strategy died after the Supreme Court ruling.
It didn't. He immediately pivoted to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974—a rarely used provision allowing 15% tariffs for... just 150 days.
And after that? Section 232, 301?
Is it possible rhe US government is creating a acrisis window?
For example:
1. Impose tariffs now
2. Trigger retaliation
3. Frame it as a national threat
4. Request broader powers?
Looks to me as law vs leverage, time will say...

5. “I don’t just have courtside seats— I’m on the court. It still blows my mind multiple times a week.”

The Bithumb case is getting interesting...
At the moment of the 620 thousand Bitcoin being sent to their clients by mistake, Bithumb had only 175 Bitcoins in their books... 👀
So, Bithumb internal system treated non-existent Bitcoin as real! 🤔
This is not going to end well for the exchange, a fat fine should come soon after and regulation for reserves integrity is key... Wonder how many CEXs have reserve integrity and proper audits...

👀 On Wednesday, Google agreed to pay US$135 million to settle a lawsuit alleging it illegally collected mobile data from users. The case also forces its parent company, Alphabet Inc., to modify Google Play and the configurations of future Android devices.
Notice the "future Android devices"
They always get away with it, so they pay a fine and your current Google Play which is calling home and sending your personal data back to Google and being sold is fine... But no worries, the "future" will be fine... Unreal
But the majority doesn't care anyway...
